Thanks, the TRB was already turned No-op by the cancel code by then, but it doesn't matter,
your trace below indicates the TRB is fine.

Yes, It shows transfer events for the TRBs before the link TRB.
This workaround is however a can of worms as many TD's consist of several TRBs, and they only trigger events for the last TRB.

How about a different approach?
If the issue is only with transfers starting on the last TRB before the link TRB, we could turn that TRB to a no-op.
Does something like the code below help?
